not sure if this has to do with me not using synergies, but im currently playing as a monk, and if I try to equip certain throwing knives (I think its called heavy) my hand appears empty and if I try to attack it instantly crashes to desktop with no error. the light one that assassin starts with is fine but any others ive found so far do this. (for the record I dont really use any other mods)

@Samuel, the synergies version increases some of the flat damage compared to this version. It also includes some end-game T1 items. Synergies has a odd attribute scale (non-linear) that favors strength instead of magic. So you can use this version, but it may be more difficult

I know that there's a version for Synergies mod but i would like to ask if this version is compatible with Synergies. I would like to finish game without Synergies and add it after i finish main quest.

@RaptorGundam, I have used the Assassin many times, I've never seen that. Could there be any conflict with any other mods you have installed? Any other information that I could use to diagnose the problem?

@drewrobi when i apply poison to weapons with assassin it stays permanently. Any idea why?

@Braxus, new version published. Let me know if that helps please

@Braxus, the woodwraith does work in Guts in levels 1, 2, 4 and 5. He does run around a bit (AI from the actual monster I didn't change) though. I'll look to see what I can do.

Wild surge triggers these skills that affect monsters and the player (negative effects):
PSION_WILD_SURGE_BURN, PSION_WILD_SURGE_FREEZE,
PSION_WILD_SURGE_SHOCK, PSION_WILD_SURGE_POISON

You will notice them as you will have the status effect applied to yourself

The ones that are only positive:
PSION_WILD_SURGE_FIRE, PSION_WILD_SURGE_ICE, PSION_WILD_SURGE_ELECTRIC, PSION_WILD_SURGE_FEAR, PSION_WILD_SURGE_CONCUSS, PSION_WILD_SURGE_HEAL, PSION_WILD_SURGE_HURRICANE, PSION_WILD_SURGE_MANA

Not all the graphics may make it obvious when they fire except for hurricane which is very obvious to see. When any of them fire, I believe there is a "Surge" text that appears briefly over the character.

@drewrobi damn, I'm really sad about this. as this small change would make the class the most fun among all the class modes. but ok thanks. and I tested it again with just this mod and only the tornado is cast. anyway thank you.

I’ve never had an issue. Could be a conflict on your side with another mod. Im not going to be altering the spoon anymore beyond tweaks and bug fixes I’ve tested it in both normal and syngergies, so I consider that class done

although the description of the wild surge says that several things happen, it never happens

@drewrobi here shows what wand chaos does https://torchlight.fandom.com/wiki/Wand_Chaos

@drewrobi wild surge has nothing to do with autocast, mage's autocast is acid rain, fireball, meteor etc... wild surge is a tornado around the character which is useless

@Pau - it is called "Wild Surge" it is one of the the "Emotional Skills" (last tab). It is the level one passive

@drewrobi I leveled all his skills to the maximum. I don't think you have a skill in that style. no auto cast

@Pau, the Psion already has a skill like that. I forget its name, but it is there as one of the passives

please add embermage's "Wand Chaos" skill to (PSION) it will make it amazing and a lot of fun, the class is fantastic. but autocasting this skill is a lot of fun.

@Braxus, Thanks for the issue report, I'll try to get around to looking into it. Taking a break at the moment from the mod. Working (very slowly) on a new class.

Did some digging. Looks like the alignment of the first level woodwraith that works is set to good, while every other level of it is not set at all. Also saw that the armor debuff on the swarm is set not to be exclusive, which answers my question.

Question about druid summon. The woodwraith went passive after I invested 4 points into it, wont attack at all. Starts to approach mobs then turns and wanders. Didn't start until I put 4 points in and 1 point into thorns aura after a respec. Any ideas? Loving this class by the way.
Also about insect swarm, it says the armor shred improves with player level but the value does not change in the description, only adds the skill level bonuses to the description. is this a false readout? Normal armor shred on hit mechanics dont stack but it says each hit degrades more armor, there only looks to be one application of armor debuff on mobs, is the armor shred stackable from every hit of swarm?

@spacepunch - Not sure, have not tried LAO. I know it does conflict with other class packs with monks as the class definition files have the same name.

@flully2sphere, glad you enjoy it. I'm curious, do you use the shapeshifting, nature, summoning or a mix?

Druid is a true summoner class.

I love Druid alot.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ♥♥♥

Would this mod work with LAO 3.0?

The general passives mod would probably need to release a version that would support my classes. I can look into that mod to see if it would be easy to do myself, but i'm busy with other things at the moment

Love your classes, any chance you can add the general passives to them? Those add so much end game content with synergies, and a reason to keep farming fame.

Ive tried to do it myself, but my dumb brain can't handle modding lol

Thx @thecaravaneer, I'll have a look. Looks like I forgot a hidden property on a background skill

There seems to be a debug spell that you can select on the right click of certain classes, at least on Psion, I started the game with a spell called "Psionic Reconstitution - Enemy" which seems to have no cast time and instantly spawn a massive red circle on the ground that poisons things

I don't know the Essential mod so I can't say

Compatible with Essential mod?

Added a new class, the Gunslinger!

Mostly tested and balanced, but probably could use some more. Hope you enjoy

@drewrobi, figured out what the problem was. Game wouldn't update to the latest version of the mod. Had to delete it from the mod folder itself and then reinstall the mod from here on steam.

Thanks for your help with figuring it out with the subscribing thing!

@Heather, you are the first to experience this problem, so something must be conflicting with the mod. Make sure this mod is at the top of the mod list. If you are still having issues then try disabling any other mods. If it does not work with only TL2 and this mod, then try to delete this mod and re-subscribe.

Something must be corrupting the install and I think a mod conflict is the only thing that makes sense. I don't believe there is anything I can do on my end to help troubleshoot it. You can provide the mods you use and the order you load them and that can help diagnose the cause.

The mod isn't working properly. I am missing the following classes. Psion, Blighted, Prophet, and Archer. All the other classes work. Is there an update for this to fix the issue?

I love this class mod so much!!

After using all class with elite hardcore mod(Of course all dead and failed before completion :P), I have concluded that Prophet/Prophetess class is among the best. We all know that how useful engineer's Forcefield is. Now prophet's sanctuary barrier is just as effective as Forcefield and it's passive skill that needs no intended activation and needs NO SKILL POINTS INVESTIGATED! It's super skill. And Prophet/Prophetess is not only great at defense mechanism but also has tons of usefull active skill which can manipulate so many situation. Also has escape skill too but Grace buff and Sanctuary is super effective so doesn't needed so much.
With it's buff aura, I guess this class becomes perfect in nearly all aspect. Supporter, Attacker, Tanker. And BEAUTIFUL EFFECT HAHA THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS CLASS SO MUCH. Flawless class. A+ class.

@Deafen - what updates do you want for the Druid? It is a solid class in my opinion, nothing that I have wanted to fix. I tried one more time trying to implement a real shape shift, but unfortunately the game mechanics don't like any of my attempts

After i cant find a petmancer of any game, i will play with this mod again.
(Hope Druid class gets updates , its been a 1.5 years)

best class mod

@Patrin - try the mind blades (glaives) - use +1 dex, +4 focus for attributes. Use a shield + wand or melee weapon with high elemental damages. Treat it similar to an embermage build

any idea how to use the psion?

===== New Class =====

A new class has been uploaded: Blighted One

It was inspired by the Nethermancer class. I saw that it was not balanced for Synergies and therefore decided to write my own class affected by ember blight.

The class is a hybrid of all 4 core classes. The charge bar reflects usage similar to the engineer. I is probably the most versatile class I've written, with flat damage, DPS damage, good for melee, ranged or use as a summoner build.

This is the beta version. I got a bit burned out during its balancing testing, so I'm not sure yet how it will function in end game synergies. Right now I'd say it may be a bit more powerful than some of my other classes, but I would not call it OP. I still need to do more testing, but need a break.

So to not let this sit on the shelf I'm releasing it now. Please let me know of your thoughts with balancing.

Thanks and enjoy
-Drew

Great work @ [Author] drewrobi !! I hope to see the new Psion class available at least in the Fansite version of Variant Classes if only to save some space on the Load Order. ^_^

I guess that requires collaboration with the TorchModders however I can wait as long as required!

I love your work.
Thanks. :)

Version 285 published

This is a major set of changes to the monk. There are now purchasable fist wraps. The monk damage no longer autoscales. This was not done by choice as much as forced since the way the TL2 engine works for damage. The way I was doing things was not working.

I have done some balancing, but not as much as I normally do (over several days). But it is close.

See the change notes for more information

Large bug found:
I've been going back and trying to fix some issues with the monk and make some improvements. What I found was that skill damage was not being enhanced by focus and damage types. For example solar flare is a "% of Weapon DPS as Fire Damage" skill. Using normal weapons, the character's focus and bonus fire damage % would enhance the damage done by this skill. But using fist wraps, it doesn't work. The way I implemented the damage has limitations with the game engine unfortunately.

I'm trying to find a solution, but to get everything working right I may end up having to turn the fist wraps into "normal" weapons that have to be bought to upgrade their damage. More to come as I try to see if there is a more elegant solution

Loving the Psion class, thanks for the update!

Beta version of a new class now uploaded

PSION !!!!

Hope you enjoy. Took me a long time to write it, but hopefully worth it. I've already enjoyed it as a full play through

@Raim, I've used the Prophet and tested it thoroughly. I never had an issue with the Aura. Did you cast it (they need to be re-cast every time you level up)?

If that isn't the issue, but I need details. For example, single or multiplayer, what specifically didn't work (applying to your character, pets, summons or allies)?

Also always turn off all other mods when testing bugs as TL2 provides no way to isolate mods (they can easily step on each other breaking them)
